+4.3 The _cmsg Structure
+
+(declared in <linux/isdn/capiutil.h>)
+
+The _cmsg structure stores the contents of a CAPI 2.0 message in an easily
+accessible form. It contains members for all possible CAPI 2.0 parameters, of
+which only those appearing in the message type currently being processed are
+actually used. Unused members should be set to zero.
+
+Members are named after the CAPI 2.0 standard names of the parameters they
+represent. See <linux/isdn/capiutil.h> for the exact spelling. Member data
+types are:
+
+u8 for CAPI parameters of type 'byte'
+
+u16 for CAPI parameters of type 'word'
+
+u32 for CAPI parameters of type 'dword'
+
+_cstruct for CAPI parameters of type 'struct' not containing any
+ variably-sized (struct) subparameters (eg. 'Called Party Number')
+ The member is a pointer to a buffer containing the parameter in
+ CAPI encoding (length + content). It may also be NULL, which will
+ be taken to represent an empty (zero length) parameter.
+
+_cmstruct for CAPI parameters of type 'struct' containing 'struct'
+ subparameters ('Additional Info' and 'B Protocol')
+ The representation is a single byte containing one of the values:
+ CAPI_DEFAULT: the parameter is empty
+ CAPI_COMPOSE: the values of the subparameters are stored
+ individually in the corresponding _cmsg structure members
+
+Functions capi_cmsg2message() and capi_message2cmsg() are provided to convert
+messages between their transport encoding described in the CAPI 2.0 standard
+and their _cmsg structure representation. Note that capi_cmsg2message() does
+not know or check the size of its destination buffer. The caller must make
+sure it is big enough to accomodate the resulting CAPI message.
